About Chinchilla Minimap

Chinchilla Minimap alters the Blizzard Minimap in a way to provide much nicer features and other niceties.

Appearance
Allows changing of blip size, border style, shape of the map (doesn't have to be circular, or even square, lots of options are available), size, etc.
Compass
A more flexible north-east-south-west indicator.
Coordinates
Show your location coordinates.
Expander
Make the minimap very big temporarily (good for gathering or finding a tough-to-spot enemy).
Location
Show the name of your location more flexibly.
Move Buttons
Move the buttons around the minimap to wherever you want (even off the minimap entirely).
Ping
Show which team-mate pinged the minimap.
Position
Position the minimap and frames around it.
Range Circle
Show on the minimap where your range extends to.
Show / Hide
Show or hide various frames related to the minimap.
Tracking Dots
Change the dots on the map to a different set of images. Very handy, especially if you suffer from colour-blindness
Zoom
Use the mouse-wheel to zoom the minimap and zoom out the map automatically after 20 seconds (or so).

    first of all: Amazing addon, too bad i got to know it today and not 6 years ago :P

    Anyway, i've got a problem. The addon don't gets the point if i disable "Rotate minimap". i unmark it and close the options. Afterwards it rotates the map again. If I open the options again, "Rotate minimap" is checked again. Any ideas?

    Hello!

    It sounds like one of two things to me. Either...

    1) It's a conflict with another addon that forces "Rotate Minimap" to be enabled, or

    2) You are using the Escape key to close the options window. Using Escape cancels any changes you made to the config before you closed it. You will need to click Okay or Close to save your changes.

    Which version are you using at the moment?

    Re: Chinchilla Options screwy

    Within the options under appearance for the shape of the map on only one character I have the ability to choose 14 different shapes for my minimap (corner bottom-left round, side bottom rounded, tir-corner top-riught square, etc.), but on most of my other toons I can only select round or square.  I thought the border style initially had something to do with it where only certain borders had multiple shapes that could be applied, but I'm not finding consistency in that from one toon to the next.  Why does only ONE toon have these options, and not the others?  Is there a setting I'm overlooking that's preventing the multiple minimap shapes?

    It sounds like the "Rotate Minimap" option is enabled for some characters and not for others. The more unusual shapes (corner bottom-left round, side bottom rounded, tri-corner top-right square, etc.) sadly don't work with the rotating minimap and are delibarately hidden when "Rotate Minimap" is enabled.

    Disable the "Rotate Minimap" feature and the unusual shapes should re-appear.

    Hi, I dont know if its your addon which are doing this, but since it is one of the last updated by curse client, I tought that may be yours.

    Adding LibDBIcon10_Atlas to known minimap buttons list.
    Adding LibDBIcon10_AtlasLoot to known minimap buttons list.
    Adding LibDBIcon10_Bartender4 to known minimap buttons list.
    Adding LibDBIcon10_BigWigs to known minimap buttons list.

    Just to confirm, chinchilla on = messages, chinchilla off = no messages.

    It's some debug I added to the current alpha packages on WoWace.com to test a feature I'm working on. I'll remove it later.

    If it gets too spammy then you can revert to a previous version.

    Is there anyway to increase the size of the minimap without also increasing the size of the minimap buttons?

    There aren't any options to do that at the moment but it looks like something I can easily add.

    For now, deleting lines 239, 240 and 241 from Chinchilla/Modules/Appearance.lua should do the trick.

    I have a problem positioning the boss frames. Their movement seems pretty random. In preview mode (when you can drag the frame around) I position it nicely but when a boss fight starts the boss frames are in a completely different location. I've found that dragging the frame a few pixels can actually result in the frame being displayed halfway across the sceen. It's not just horizontal movement either, it moves vertically by a random amount too.

    Hi Greg,

    Addon buttons are currently not supported in Chinchilla since 90% of addons that supply buttons often have ways to move or hide them.

    Try clicking and dragging the buttons that are in the way to see if they move around the minimap. I can't help much more than this as I don't know which specific buttons are causing the problem.

    Sorry!

    - Ethan

    hey just thought I'd send a clearer image showing the size change for me with this addon, the dungeon finder tooltip is a lot bigger since the latest updates. http://i.imgur.com/WYSFDXk.jpg

    maybe the issue is it scaling with the minimap, prior to the latest versions the dungeon finder tooltip was the same size whether chinchilla was on or off. I play on a 50inch lcd from about 3 or so metres away and it looks really out of proportion for a tooltip. It's not a huge issue though and hope you enjoy your holiday :) just something to look into maybe an option to not scale the tooltip at some stage.
